“Really? That’s great! Let’s stop talking for now. Hurry up and breach the formation,” Eggy replied.
“Yes, Milady Queen.”
Chu Feng continued sensing his surroundings with his heart. He had already discovered the energy hidden in the Luck Saint Realm, and he knew that the formation would unravel once he established a connection between his world spiritist bloodline and the luck energy.
But establishing a connection was no easy feat; it was even harder than solving the formation using conventional means. This would have stumped most prodigies, but it was a different story for Chu Feng.
Through Ruler’s Bloodline’s tremendous power and Chu Feng’s high intelligence, it didn’t take him long to forge a connection between his world spiritist bloodline and the Luck Saint Realm’s energy.
He opened his eyes and looked ahead.
Neither the fog nor the formation trapping him had dissipated, but a flight of stairs descended from the Luck Saint Realm’s mountain peak to his feet. He could head straight to the mountain peak through this flight of stairs.
“Chu Feng, did it work?” Eggy stared at the stairs in disbelief.
It happened so fast that it felt illogical to her.
“I succeeded,” Chu Feng replied with a smile.“That’s fast. It looks like you have made huge strides in your world spiritist techniques.” Eggy was startled.
“It’s all thanks to Milady Queen’s guidance.”
“Stop the bootlicking, you dummy.”
Eggy had a beaming smile not because of Chu Feng’s compliment but because she was gladdened by his improvement. Chu Feng had needed her guidance when he first started, but his grasp of world spiritist technique had reached an incredible level now.
Eggy was happy for him.
Chu Feng stepped onto the staircase, but he was advancing slowly.
Sensing that something was amiss, Eggy asked, “Is there an impending force?”
Chu Feng nodded.
“There’s no rush. Take your time.”
“It’s fine. The impeding force isn’t significant.”
“Oh? Why aren’t you moving faster if the impediment is not significant?” Eggy was surprised, but she knew that he must have his reasons.
“I was observing the round plate, Eggy, and I sensed something special from it. I don’t think it’s just a decorative ornament, but I can’t figure out its purpose. And the more I observe the round plate, the more excited my world spiritist bloodline becomes.”
Eggy looked at the round plate too and saw runes inscribed on it, but she couldn’t decipher the contents.
…
At the same time, Baili Zilin also entered the area, but the scenery he saw was different from Chu Feng.
He could also see the mountain peak and round plate in the distance, but he was not surrounded by a white fog but a stone forest. He couldn’t fly in the stone forest, but the distance between him and the mountain peak didn’t shorten when he tried walking straight ahead.
So, he quickly told Jie Mubai what he saw.
Jie Mubai was standing outside the Luck Saint Realm. He didn’t bother entering as he knew that he would be separated from Baili Zilin once they stepped in.
He sat in outer space, in the middle of a powerful formation that emanated a blinding light reminiscent of the sun, though outsiders couldn’t see him as this formation had a concealment effect too.
A portion of this formation’s energy emanated a similar aura to the Luck Saint Realm.
The formation looked different from within. Complicated patterns and runes floated in the surroundings as spheres. These patterns and runes were constantly changing, as if divulging the secrets of the world.
Through this formation, Jie Mubai could get a glimpse into what Baili Zilin was facing.
There were still limitations to this formation, which was why he initially told Baili Zilin to assess his surroundings. After careful examination and cross reference, he finally confirmed that Baili Zilin’s stone forest was indeed a labyrinth.
However, he also quickly grasped another matter, and this matter was far more important.
“A labyrinth formation? Elder, my world spiritist techniques are still lacking. I’ll be counting on you to decipher this formation.”
Baili Zilin had no idea how to breach this formation, so he entrusted everything to Jie Mubai.
“There’s no need to breach this formation. Breaching this formation will earn you luck energy, but you won’t be able to reach the peak,” Jie Mubai replied.
“This formation doesn’t have to be breached?” Baili Zilin was baffled.
“This place assesses one’s bloodline power and intelligence.”
“Elder, you’re saying that this labyrinth formation is a trap?”
“You can say so. The conditions in the Luck Saint Realm differ for each individual and entry. First-timers like you are more likely to fall for such a trick. I can only figure out what’s happening on your side based on the details you have shared,” Jie Mubai replied.
“Elder, what should I do?”
“Now that you have found the right path, the rest is easy. Activate the energy inside the pill you consumed earlier—it’ll greatly enhance your bloodline power. Put on the formation armor and sense the natural energies in the surroundings with your heart.
“There’s a gate hidden around you. You have to find the gate and open it, and the gate will release a surge of energy connected to the Luck Saint Realm. Fuse that energy into your world spiritist bloodline, and you’ll be able to reach the mountain peak,” Jie Mubai explained.
Baili Zilin was put in a spot. “Elder, can I use my martial power to sense instead?”
As confident as he was, he didn’t have faith in his spirit power.
“You have to use your spirit power. Don’t worry; I’ll channel the formation to enhance your senses,” Jie Mubai replied.
“All right. I’ll give it a try.” Baili Zilin did as he was told.
Two hours later, Baili Zilin asked, “Elder, are you sure there’s a gate here? Why can’t I sense it?”
“Calm down. You have to first familiarize yourself with perceiving your surroundings with your spirit power. That’ll allow you to search deeper and more thoroughly, making it easier for you to find it.”
Jie Mubai offered pointers, and Baili Zilin humbly learned from him.
Twenty hours later, with the aid of Jie Mubai’s formation, Baili Zilin finally found the hidden gate.
“Elder, I found it!” Baili Zilin was overjoyed.
“Good, young master Zilin. Your talent as a world spiritist is indeed extraordinary. That proves that my deduction is right. It’ll take longer to breach the gate, but there’s no need to worry. As long as you follow my instructions, I guarantee that you can breach the gate.”
“Yes, I trust you.” Baili Zilin’s faith in Jie Mubai further deepened. “Elder, I see now why you were so certain that Chu Feng wouldn’t be able to reach the peak. This trial is too tough. Even with my powerful world spiritist bloodline, I would have never been able to reach the peak without your help.”
Jie Mubai smirked in glee. “It shouldn’t have been that tough. I modified the Luck Saint Realm while activating it. With the current level of difficulty, it’d be impossible for anyone to reach the peak without my help.”
“Of course.” Baili Zilin nodded.
Just then, he noticed a light glowing from the mountain peak. He looked over and jolted in astonishment. He quickly rubbed his eyes and took a second look.
“No, that’s impossible.”
Two radiant words had appeared on the Luck Saint Realm’s mountain peak. It was a person’s name.
Chu Feng!
